Welcome back to the SummerTerm...the last one of this academic

year. I cant believe the year is going

so quickly!

In this newsletter, you will see details

of the events that we have planned for

this term - I would be grateful if you

could add these to your calendars,

although we will remind you again

nearer the time.

HEALTHY SNACKSI would be grateful if you can send in

ahealthy snack for playtimes for

the children; we have noticed an

increase in the number of children

eating crisps and chocolate at

morning playtime. We would like to

see as many children as possible

eating fruit for their snack.

Alternatively, a cereal bar (no nuts,

please) or equivalent is acceptable. I

know that some children have been

known to raid their packed lunch

box at playtimes, often selecting the

crisps, which is

something we

would like to

stop. Can you

please help us to

make sure we

encourage the

children to eat

healthily? Thank

you!

This term, the whole school will

be working on an Olympic

theme...this will culminate in an

Olympic-themed Sports Day on

Thursday 28th June. Each class

will be divided up into five

groups, each group representing

a different country. There will be

lots of chances to find out about

these countries, to create and

perform opening ceremonies

and closing ceremonies as well

as competing against each other

in various activities throughout

the term. More details will be

coming from class teachers in

the coming weeks.

The Olympic Torch will be

visiting Chester on the 28th and

29th May.

SCHOOL UNIFORM

As we are now in the Summer Term, the

children may wear their summer uniform

(although, it is still acceptable to wear the

winter uniform of white shirt/tie).

The girls may wear a red gingham dress and

the boys may wear a red gingham shirt. The

dresses are widely available from

supermarkets as well as our two uniform

suppliers (Sports and Leisure, in Hoole and

www.myschoolstyle.com). The boys shirts are

a little harder to get hold of; however, we can

now get them from the uniform supplier for

ASHTON HAYES PRIMARY SCHOOL

NEWS ISSUE 11 / SUMMER TERM 2012 / THURSDAY 19TH APRIL 2012

Duddon Primary School. Please access their website

by going to www.kidsbiz.co.ukthen clicking Shop by

School and Duddon St Peters School.

Uniform will be delivered to Duddon School free of

charge.

Can I remind you that all uniform and clothing should

be clearly labelled. I highly recommend labels from

www.easy2name.comThe stick-on labels remain stuck

to clothing labels even after several washes and they

stick really well to water bottles, even after several

times through the dishwasher! The iron-on transfers

are also great.The school receives a small amount of

commission on purchases if you choose Ashton

Hayes Primary CH3 when you check out

(search in the drop-down menu under A in

the fundrais ing group). Thank you.
